With Perfect Guitar Song Book you always have your collection of guitar songs with you. You can easily transfer songs from your computer or get them from the Internet and organize them in lists. The app can handle the most common file formats and comes up with Shake2Scroll, a completely new scrolling experience.

Features:
▶ Songs from anywhere ◄
Songs may be entered or copied from the Internet as plain text or in Chord Pro format. If plain text is entered, PerfectGuitarSongBook automatically converts the song to the Chord Pro format. Furthermore, the app allows importing various file formats, such as PDF, DOC, DOCX, PAGES, CHOPRO, CRD and TXT. PerfectGuitarSongBook can convert simple PDF, DOC, DOCX and PAGES files to ChordPro.

No song fits on one page. How can you scroll without having to stop playing?
Shake2Scroll is a feature, that turns the table your device lies on into a foot pedal. You just have to touch the table with your foot to scroll. Thanks to the precision of the iPhone/iPod/iPad's sensors, even the slightest touch is enough. We just want you to have both hands free for the most important: your music.

PerfectGuitarSongBook can display songs on TVs or other external displays, so that even your friends don‘t miss out. (appropriate cable is needed)

▶ Transposing, Formatting ◄
Transpose your songs with only a few taps or format them with some so-called Chord Pro directives.

▶ Bluetooth foot switch support ◄
Using a MIDI foot switch like the iRig BlueBoard by IK Multimedia, you can navigate through the whole app without having to touch the screen.
Also simpler non-midi pedals are supported.
